    Vintage Riding & Equestrian Apparel

    Nice waistcoat! If you don't mind my asking, how much were you hit up for it? I am looking for either a tattersall or canary waistcoat for riding as well. Can't seem to find much in size 42L for a reasonable price. I'll be posting some photos soon as well.

    Japanese Uniform

    Puttees I have been heavily involved in US Army WWI groups for about 18 years now and have had quite a bit of experience wearing puttees. First of all, puttees were not used by US forces until after they had arrived in western Europe. Instead, laced up leggings/gaiters were worn. They and...

    Jodhpurs / Breeches

    Evan, thanks for sharing your grandfather's story. I sometimes wonder how we would handle those same conditions. Now that was a man of character and you should be proud of him. Also, I wonder how we would handle those same circumstances?

    This is probably my very most favorite thread. Here's more eye candy for you art enthusiasts! I painted this in 1998 and hanging in my foyer. No component in this painting exists on the face of the earth. Designed entirely from imagination. Image size 24" X 36" oil on 1/4" luan board...

    1930s Officer's Cavalry Boots - Size 10D

    I have listed a great pair of size 10D pre-WWII US Army Officer's Russett Brown Riding Boots on ebay and wanted to let you know that they are available. The calf size is 15 1/2 inches. The sole width at the widest point is 4 1/4 inches. NOTE: The stitching on the rear seam above both heels is...

    Great gallery, P51. I just cannot imagine the hours you have into this, just chasing those beauties then catching the correct image to boot. They are history in the making.

    Thanks for your kind words. This wasn't a natural talent. I started painting when I was 39 yrs old and followed those guys on TV with the almighty brushes. I am totally self taught. You can't imagine the works that came out of me then. The corner of my shop was littered with stacks of...

    Jodhpurs / Breeches

    This is a pair of breeches I recently picked up on-line. They are original 1930s U.S. Army cavalry breeches. The material is khaki. This cut of breeches is indicative of the US army cavalry enlisteman in the 20s through the 30s. Prior to 1920, the flair cut was more rounded. I have several...

    Jodhpurs / Breeches

    Remember, What Price glory, WWII Impressions and most other repro vendors get their breeches from the far east (i.e. India, indo-china or Indonesia) and they are just not the quality of a vintage pair of Breeches. For one thing, they provide a cookie-cutter approach using the same basic cut...

    Jodhpurs / Breeches

    Evan, Here is a link to the horsecountrylife website catalogue for reference to brown dress boots. Refer to page 40 for those you are looking for at a cost of $129 per pair, a big savings under the $350 you contemplate. http://www.horsecountrylife.com/catalog/FoxHunters2009/cover.html I...

    Jodhpurs / Breeches

    It seems like we are walking the fine line between historically negative context of why breeches/jodhpurs were worn in certain countries versus the functional use of the garment. We therefore run the risk of deterioration of the dialogue, which I would not like to see. I would like to ask...

    Glad I could provide it for you Perhaps you wouldn't mind posting some photos of your grandfather. They would be of great interest to me and, I'm sure, others in this thread and on the vintage photos thread as well. I have been riding since the mid 60s (hunter/jumpers). I finally decided...
